9 user region code comments

1) Turn on the player with no disc in the tray.
2) Open then close the tray, wait to see the No-Disc Message
in the top Left Corner.
3) Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a
five digit code. eg. 57538 if you have a region 2 player.
4) When it works a 2 (your current region) will appear in
the top left corner.
5) Press 9 to make it region less.
6) Press Eject to OPEN to open the disc tray.
7) Press Eject to CLOSE to close the disc tray.
8) Power the unit off
9) Now power the unit on again, it should now read all
regions of DVD/BD Disc.

I also tried the suggested hack without luck. I even tried all the other region codes! After consulting the blu-ray manual it says that they are either Zone A, B or C not 1,2,3,4,5! Is there therefore a new kind of hack we need for newer models? For the record the display where it says "No Disc" is in the centre of my machine!

The instructions as written didn't work for me. To get the region code to appear I had to open
the security menu between steps 2 and 3. The repeat button and region code only worked after
flicking through some options in the security menu, but wouldn't work if I checked the security
menu then opened/closed the tray.
